Theophilus's point of view……
"Mom!"
All eyes including mine turned towards the direction of the voice, It was Gracie. She was standing at the throne entrance door, looking shocked. She was finally awake. I needed to check my eardrums to know if I heard her right. I was eager to know who she was referring to as mom.
"Mom,you are here too, you know these people?"
She questioned and started walking into the throne room. We were all looking around to know who she was referring to. While others have the look of who she is, mom and I were wondering who is the mom she is talking about.
She got to Tiana and stood in front of her.
"Mom, have you suddenly lost words? What are you doing here?"
Okay, that was it. Tiana is her mom. Tiana stood up and tried to touch her but she stepped back.
You funny enough, all these years I have got to know Gracie, I could not make out what her mother looked like and I had thought it to be strange.
Mom, dad and the rest of us had our mouths wide open. Tiana has a daughter and we don't know. Like what the hell?
"I am sorry my darling but there is something you should know".
Tiana said and looked down.
"I know it hurts to let you know this way but there is no other way to let you know, I am not really your mom, the lady over there is"
I had to shut my mouth. If you tell me that the revelation is shocking I will tell you that it's more than shocking. How is Gracie Nora's daughter?
Gracie chuckled,
"What now? You are telling me that you are not my mom. Like for real?. I don't even understand what is going on here?"
She said and turned her back then left the throne room. I had to run after her.
Nora's point of view…..
We were still trying to figure out how Glamorous came back through me. It was not supposed to be then this girl we have tried to understand who she is, appeared and called Tiana her mom. Tiana had a daughter and we did not know. It's impossible.
I was still trying to come out from the shock and another one hit me.
"Tiana is not her mom, I am. How?"
Tiana, do you mind telling us what is going on because I don't understand the kind of witch princess I am anymore."
Gina said.
Tiana sighed and sat down.
"It all began the night Nora was in labor at Hilltop Hospital in Beverly. I had a revelation which I could not understand. I was trying to figure out when Jeff appeared to me and told me what was going on. Glamorous had a plan and the plan was to switch your baby and replace her with herself then kill your baby afterwards. As a guardian witch I am, It's my duty to protect the Southern princess. I did what everyone in my shoes could have done.
When you had the baby, the most beautiful baby I could ever lay my eyes on. I had to pick her up myself while you were asleep. I convinced the doctor that, in case you wake up and start looking for your baby, that he should tell you that the baby is dead but before you could have wake up, Glamorous had replaced herself in your arm as your baby.
And before I could take the baby away, I made Theophilus to mark her in such a way that he will always be drawn to her and when the time comes they will do the right thing without anyone suspecting anything."
Tiana narrated. I was speechless. So I have loved Glamorous as my child thinking she is mine while my baby was out somewhere.
"How did you get the doctor to agree to lie and what was Glamorous's plan of marrying the prince?"
Ben asked. He was out of his own shock.
"I used a spell on the doctor and as for Glamorous's plan. It was like the prophecy that came before Theophilus was born. She would smuggle her way into the prince's life as his mate by pretending to be the chosen bride and after she might have married the prince, she would kill him and every other person that will stand in her way and take up the throne. She has always wanted the throne"
Tiana explained. It was all making sense now.
Why we had a peaceful twenty years was because she was living among us, making plans and waiting for it to be hatched.
My mind went to what Abigail told me this afternoon about a change in her.
Could it be what I am thinking, she possessed a baby and has been living in her since. In that case who is Abigail?
